Jared Banner on becoming the first Black GM of Orioles: "Representation matters, and if there’s some little kid in Baltimore who sees me up here and thinks that they’re capable of something they might not have thought otherwise, that’s a big responsibility and something I take a lot of pride in.”

Happy belated birthday to the man who provided one of my Top 10 greatest sports memories ever, maybe even top 5. It should be against the law if he ever has to buy his own drinks in the state of Maryland. #orioles youtu.be/0vhWfpv4ZPU?...

Happy 72nd birthday to Tito Landrum. Landrum spent 9 years in the big leagues, mostly with St. Louis. He earned WS rings with the 1982 Cardinals and 1983 Orioles and played in the WS again with St. Louis in 1985. He appeared in just 51 games for the Dodgers in 1987.

“Makes churio make a good throw” lol. The throw was garbage and still got the guy by a mile. Just call it a dumb send and call it a day. I can’t watch this crap.

Not even Zach Britton sends a catcher on that last out at home.

To be fair, I’m not rooting *against* the rays either. I just don’t care. Completely indifferent. The other AL East teams I’d absolutely be rooting against. Also, If I check into this World Series before game 4, that would be an upset.

I know some people won’t be satisfied until Elias is gone, but it seems like moving Sig off analytics and hiring a true, experienced player development guy to be the GM at least nominally addresses a lot of the criticism on this site.

My first sports heartbreak. It has not gotten easier with time. I usually do my best to avoid any highlights from this series, but I stupidly watched this final out. Ugh. WE WERE UP 3 GAMES TO 1! Even though we won the Series four years later, this one still sucks. Bah. Look at the fans running…

October 15, 1983: Game 4 of the World Series is played at Veterans Stadium. The Baltimore Orioles beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, and take a 3-1 lead in the Series. Through 2022, this is the last World Series game played under the Sun.

Guy probably saved at the least 20+ throwing errors over there. But hey can’t spell analytics without anal.

Andy Kostka@afkostka.bsky.social

Pete Alonso passed the eye test at first base. But a few defensive analytics didn’t help his Gold Glove case. www.thebanner.com/sports/oriol...

thebanner.comShould Pete Alonso be a Gold Glove finalist? Here's what the analytics show.Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Christian Walker are the American League’s Gold Glove finalists at first base. However, Alonso was a bright spot in Baltimore’s lackluster defense.

Hard to get loud for a team that kills any momentum by getting penalized every 3 plays. An absolute joke. That second half was one of the worst I’ve ever seen, and not bc Lamar missed most of it. TOO MANY DUMB PENALTIES. 3-1 and I feel like we’re 1-3.
